Robin p michael getting over my gay self hate

If only they would listen to what you tell them to do…. Well, there are some statement like this in the Bible, but such statements require great care in understanding and applying them to life. God is not in the sin-management business. Hate a sin like rape, murder, incest, child abuse, torture, sex slavery, or one of the other multitudes of damaging and destructive sins.

If a homosexual couple wants to get married because they say they love each other, why would we say they cannot? How exactly does their love hurt your family? I suspect any problems in your family might be found a bit closer to home…. Is it really? And even if it does, so what?

What is more important? The definition of a word or a relationship between people? That sounds an awful lot like something a Pharisee would do in the days of Jesus. Even if the definition of marriage changes, will that somehow ruin your marriage? I cannot possibly think how. You see?

I am concerned about them! I could say so much more about this, but I must move on. Here is a post which says more: Love the Sinner, hate the sin is really just hate. Stop judging me! These are our favorite sins, and we have baptized our sins to make them acceptable and even praiseworthy.

And even when our sins our not praiseworthy, we allow ourselves excuses which we never allow to anyone else. These sins are ones we typically do not commit, but we use these to make ourselves feel better about our own sin. We point them out in others and condemn them and their sin for all the problems in the world and in society.

We tell them that their sin is worse than ours.

That their sin is destroying the unity in the church. That their sin is bringing down our country. That their sin is perverting our culture. That they better fix their life right now, or God is going to kill them and punish them and send them to hell to burn forever.

It is mentioned 3 times in the Bible 6 times at the most, depending on how you want to understand a few terms. But how often are greed, pride, slander, gluttony, anger, and hatred mentioned? It sets us up in the position of God to decide which sins are worse than others, and which sins can be overlooked and which cannot.

It makes us the arbiter or grace and forgiveness. Which is the worst sin of all? We Christians must repent of this self-idolatrous, scapegoating judgmentalism of others.
